autorisierten

Autorisierten is a verb form in German derived from autorisieren, meaning to grant official permission or authority. It is the Präteritum (simple past) form used with plural subjects, or when the formal address Sie is implied. For example: Die Behörden autorisierten den Einsatz yesterday (in standard usage: Die Behörden autorisierten den Einsatz). Similarly, Die Abteilungen autorisierten die Zulieferung shows how the form appears with plural subjects.

Etymology and related forms: The verb autorisieren belongs to the German lexicon borrowed from French autoriser, itself from Latin auctoritas. In usage, the infinitive combines with typical German tense endings. The past participle is autorisiert, a form used as a participle or adjective (as in eine autorisierte Version). The form autorisierten is therefore tied to the past tense with plural subjects or with the formal Sie in the past.

Usage and contexts: In legal, administrative, business, and security contexts, autorisieren denotes granting formal permission or authority to act, access resources, or approve a process. Common phrases include Autorisierung (authorization) and autorisierte Signatur (authorized signature). The term appears in reports, contracts, and compliance documents to indicate official approval or empowerment.
